The Farm
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(by Rainer Ptacek)
somebody I know taught me without even teaching
the way it was then, not like it is now
it even rained more often
I remember the farm now
Momma's bright dress and the look on your face
When she left
How did we ever survive with so much missing?
Never came on back, it just stayed missing
Like I'm growing radar receiving messages
From out of the plains of Kansas
{CHORUS}
Someone, somewhere, some place, out there
In my arms now, holding my baby
It's as good as I've felt lately
Lily I love you, don't know how I ever
got by without you
never going to leave here
you're not going to change that
no matter how many men you send to lay me flat
{CHORUS}
Somebody I know taught me without teaching
I remember the farm now
